Youngs Family Recipes

Grant really wanted me to save this recipe that his scout leader wrote down for him, so I figure I better just put it in here rather than try to save some scrap of paper. Ingredients: 1 Cup Peanut Butter 2 Cups Vanilla Greek Yogurt (or Plain with 1 tsp vanilla) 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar Directions: Whip for Several Minutes. Serve chilled.

CINNAMON CHIPS 4 (7-inch) flour tortillas 1 tbsp sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon SALSA 2 med Granny Smith apples 1 cup strawberries -- sliced 1 kiwi fruit -- peeled and chopped 1 small orange 2 tbsp packed brown sugar 2 tbsp apple jelly Preheat oven to 400 degrees. For cinnamon chips, lightly spray tortillas with water. Combine sugar and cinnamon in flour/sugar shaker; sprinkle over tortillas. Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges; place in single layer on round baking stone. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp. Remove to cooling rack; cool completely. For salsa, peel, core, and slice apples. Cut apples into quarters; chop with food chopper. Slice strawberries and chop kiwi. Place fruit in 1 quart bowl. Zest orange and juice. Add orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar and apple jelly to fruit mixture, mix gently. Serve with cinnamon chips.

I meant to post this a while ago, because this works great with the Southwest Chicken Salads.   This is really easy to make and I just store it in a plastic bag with my other seasonings.  I make chicken fajitas a lot and this is really tasty and easy.  3 Tbsp cornstarch 2 Tbsp chili powder 1 Tbsp salt 1 Tbsp paprika 1 Tbsp sugar 2 1/2 tsp crushed chicken bouillon 1 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or less if you like it less spicy) 1/2 tsp cumin 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.  Pour into a glass or plastic container, seal tightly and store in a cool, dry place.  Makes equivalent of 3 packets of Fajita Seasoning Mix (about 3 TBS each).
